Cost-effective technology for Aged Care providers

At NEC, we recognise the need for Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF) and Community Care providers to evolve to meet the needs of clients, their families and friends in a digital economy. This is especially important given the recommendations of the Productivity Commission report.

We are endorsed by the Aged Care Peak bodies ACAA and ACSA, the Aged Care Industry IT Council (ACIITC) and Aged Care IT Vendor Association (ACIVA) to support aged care organisations with a range of initiatives. We can help you use technology to achieve greater organisational productivity and improved client outcomes.

Our research and development in this area
currently focuses on:

  • digital literacy, 
  • social isolation, 
  • ageing in place, and 
  • workplace efficiencies. 

We proactively work with Peak Bodies, Industry Members and Commonwealth Government departments to develop innovative ICT initiatives designed to achieve positive outcomes in these areas.

Aged Care facilities can make the most of NEC’s business grade broadband, fibre and wireless services to connect facilities to each other, the internet or any other purpose.

Private Networks VPN

Where Aged Care facilities are spread over multiple sites, remote access for staff to systems or an intranet is required and data security is of paramount importance, NEC offers a Private Network solution that delivers on these needs.

Dedicated Virtual Servers

Ideal for Aged Care operators requiring servers to operate their business applications and securely store business data without the cost and complexity of maintaining their own server hardware. The servers are maintained and supported in and NEC owned and operated secure data centre with redundancy, 7 day back-up and Disaster Recovery offered as standard.

Thin Clients or Managed Desktop

The thin client approach allows Aged Care facilities to dramatically lower their total cost of ownership. This spreads the resource of one, powerful server over several users, who can access their hosted desktop via any capable device such as a laptop, traditional PC or a thin client, a simple terminal device that dramatically lowers onsite support costs.

Voice: Hosted or On-site

NEC’s Hosted IP telephony solution is ideally suited to both single and multi-site Aged Care facilities with a need for four to over 200 handset deployments. This a great alternative to expensive in-house PABX systems or traditional fixed line services like ISDN. As telephony and connectivity are absolutely critical to the safe operation of an Aged Care facility, NEC can install a combination of fail-safe communications systems for your peace of mind.
